Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett Johansson Divorce: Actor Talks Split With Jay Leno (VIDEO)

The typically tight-lipped Ryan Reynolds opened up about his divorce from Scarlett Johansson Monday night on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno"--sort of--jokingly telling the talk show host that the city of Atlanta, Georgia had brought a series of unfortunate events upon him:

"My hotel room flooded, my dog got sick, I came down with a slight case of divorce, and I broke my pinky finger. I was begging to get out of Atlanta at that point."

Reynolds, who is currently promoting his film "The Change-Up," reportedly maintains an amicable relationship with Johansson. The pair has been known to share an occasional dinner date, but his split clearly had an effect on the actor, who told "Details" magazine in May, "Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain...I don't think I want to get married again."

Clearly gay marriage destroyed what they had for, what was it, two years or three?

You don't have to marry me, Ryan. We can just shack up. I am fine with that.

Sign me up, I'd hang with him. He is funny, easy on the eyes and his body is rockin'

I am sure he has a line of eligible women lining up to go out with him

They looked soooo damn great together. Both are sexy, rich and talented. What a great combo they were :-( WIsh theycould have worked it out. People must realize that marriage takes WORK. When you sya I DO, MEAN IT!!

Mean something when you agree to it? What nonsense are you talking? ;)

Yean. Because looking great together and being sexy, rich and talented is OBVIOUSLY all that it takes to make a marriage work.

d'oh.

I don't think the OP was suggesting that...in fact, Stand said "marriage takes WORK", and when you say I do "MEAN IT"....so I think Stand was pretty clear that those attributes are not at all what it takes to make a marriage work....they're just the attributes that those of us who do not either Reynolds or Johanssen are most privy to....a celebrity couples other attributes are likely to be less well known and therefore people are less likely to mention them when discussing said couple's apparent fitness as a couple.

He seems like such a decent guy, and he's hot, I can't imagine trading him for Sean Penn, who, while being a great humanitarian, is a huge DB to whoever his woman is!

Feel bad for him. She acts so old for her age, soo attracted to older smarter men ect. Yet look who is the flighty immature one. (I'm assuming its her)

You shouldn't assume. We don't know these people. At all.

I can't understand what on earth he saw in Scarlet Johannson in the first place. She seems like a huge beyotch.

She comes off as sweet and mature in my opinion. Maybe she was too mature 4 him.

I am not young nor beautiful (if I am going to be honest) but I would certainly go out with Ryan Reynolds. Just dinner and a movie...that's all...
